Arts & Literature

Corporate and Individual Donors to the Educational Foundation may choose to have their monetary contributions fund grants from a specific fund category: Arts & Literature

Students whose education includes exposure to the arts are given the opportunity to tap into the creative brain and recognize beauty in many forms. While exploring literature, our children are taught to develop the ability to think freely, question openly, and dream the impossible.

Below are recently-funded grants that would be supported from the Arts & Literature Fund.
